No matter how high the nobility and glory one may esteem in the cause of a feud, the audacity to even desecrate religious institutions such as churches and temples, which is an abode of human soul is a disgraceful offense to human sanctity. Regrettably such acts not only reflect loss of sanity but it is an affront to the Divine God above. When such brazen acts are left to prevail, it can potentially lead to unquenchable unrest and repercussions, the release said.
